Vol. 4 No. 1 (2023): (April 2023)

  

This issue has been available online since 25th March 2023 as part of the regular April 2023 edition. It features six articles authored by twenty scholars from Iran, Türkiye, and Indonesia—offering interdisciplinary perspectives on leadership, governance, poverty, and public service transformation within the context of the Global South.

The issue opens with an analysis of the Penta Helix synergy in managing the COVID-19 pandemic at the municipal level in Pekanbaru, Indonesia (SDG 3, Target 3.d: Strengthen the capacity for early warning, risk reduction and management of national and global health risks; SDG 17, Target 17.17: Encourage effective partnerships with civil society, the private sector and other stakeholders). This is followed by a study on compassionate leadership demonstrated by women in local governance during the health crisis (SDG 5, Target 5.5: Ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership; SDG 16, Target 16.7: Ensure responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels).

A further contribution explores the enduring challenge of poverty and the natural resource curse in Indonesia (SDG 1, Target 1.1: Eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere; SDG 8, Target 8.4: Improve progressively global resource efficiency in consumption and production), while a systematic review examines how government utilisation of social media is conceptualised within social science scholarship (SDG 16, Target 16.10: Ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms; SDG 9, Target 9.c: Significantly increase access to information and communications technology).

Another article investigates conflict of interest in the administrative expansion of Sofifi City, North Maluku (SDG 16, Target 16.6: Develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions; SDG 11, Target 11.3: Enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanisation and capacity for participatory planning). The issue concludes with an empirical analysis of the relationship between the E-Government Development Index and the World Governance Indicator Index in Southeast Asia (SDG 16, Target 16.6: Develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions; SDG 17, Target 17.18: Enhance capacity-building support to developing countries to increase the availability of high-quality, timely and reliable data).

By addressing themes of crisis governance, institutional accountability, digital transformation, and inclusive leadership, this issue provides a timely contribution to contemporary governance debates relevant to policy reform and sustainable development across the Global South.
